Delayed charge

Delayed charge - delayed charge is a feature available in the circuly operations backend that you can use if you do not want to charge the initial payment in the checkout and instead delay the charge until a later point in time. 

‍

Currently the option to delay a charge in your white-label checkout or the initial payment is only available if you use the following Payment Service Providers: 

• Stripe
• Braintree

‍

Here's when you might want to delay a charge: 

• Limited stock availability - If you are unsure whether you can fulfil the order or not because you don’t have the necessary stock amount and need to order the stock from your supplier first.
• Validating the credit worthiness of the customer - If you want to check the credit score of the customer first and based on the credit score decide whether you actually want to fulfil the order or not.
• Checking if delivery is possible - If you want to check first whether you can actually deliver your product to the requested area & you need to manually follow up with the customer for the delivery of the product.
